I've a 91 city with ripped steering rack gaiters so I'm going to replace. However, I'd imagine I should reblube the rack.Haynes manual says to jack up on drivers side and then squirt it in and tighten up gaiter.

Yours is a late model and uses semi fluid grease. I use Castrol semi fluid grease.

Thanks woddy. I fitted the gaiters today but didn't out anything in them. There seemed to be grease still in there and was going to leave well enough alone. What do u think? I can always slide gaiter down and add more.

The proper grease is very fluid like and will have leaked out. Jack the car up on one side and remove the gaiter on that side. Use a syringe to put the grease into the rack and move the steering left and right.

OK thanks woody, I'll top it up so and I'll pick up some of that grease. I was going yo upload a pic but didn't have any luck for some reason on mobile as there seemed to be a bit in it still in it.
